Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 385 Preparing to Attack Yilan County

Ningzhi County was captured very quickly and also very risky.

However, now that Ningzhi County has been taken over, it can be considered a good thing.

At the same time, under Liu Wu's urging, the additional troops of the [-]th Infantry Battalion could arrive in about two days.

Moreover, the fall of Ningzhi County also meant that Yilan County was completely defenseless against the Han army at this time.

Two days later, additional troops arrived, and under the command of Lu Yulin, all teams were reorganized.

The [-]st Infantry Group and the [-]th Infantry Group were merged and then upgraded to the [-]st Infantry Battalion of the [-]th Infantry Brigade.

The [-]th Infantry Group and the [-]rd Infantry Group were merged and upgraded to the [-]th Infantry Battalion of the [-]th Infantry Brigade.

The [-]nd Infantry Brigade was independently upgraded to the [-]nd Infantry Battalion of the [-]nd Infantry Brigade.

Similarly, all the squadrons directly under the former [-]th Infantry Battalion were upgraded to brigades, and the squadrons were upgraded to squadrons.

This is also due to the fact that the Fifth Infantry Battalion was full from the beginning and had half more deputies. Otherwise, it would be easy to expand the army but it would be difficult for officers to do so.

Therefore, this expansion of the army only took one day to detach here, and then the army trained and quickly rushed towards the county seat of Yilan County.

In this regard, we need to talk about the situation of the Han army. The prisoners in Changsha County have all undergone military training.

Therefore, after two months of ideological education and training, they were quickly able to integrate into the Han army's system.

At the same time, because of the good living conditions in the past two months, their bodies have recovered to a certain extent, and their overall health has definitely improved.

Coupled with sufficient ideological education, although these people can be considered recruits, they can also be considered veterans.

Only in this way, it is logical for them to be reorganized into the [-]th Infantry Brigade together with the [-]th Infantry Battalion, and it does not require much time to adjust in the early stage.

As for the subsequent cooperation, it can only be done in training and actual combat.

Therefore, flying to Yilan County naturally became the training of the Han Army's Fifth Infantry Brigade during actual combat.

The training subjects here are completely practical.

What about reconnaissance, what about building roads and bridges, what about destroying blocking troops, what about enemy sneak attacks, etc.

It can be said that there are some in the training subjects that the [-]th Infantry Battalion will definitely encounter during the march.

Therefore, it can be said that they are running into each other in actual combat.

Although this kind of running-in can quickly form a large group of soldiers and quickly unite, it also cannot avoid casualties.

Coupled with this is the so-called flying attack, which is a rapid march.

The normal daily marching speed of the Han army is sixty miles per day, but under the requirements of the Fifth Infantry Brigade, sufficient combat effectiveness must be ensured while maintaining a daily march of eighty to one hundred miles.

This speed is almost the fastest speed of the Han army today.

After all, as infantry, it is impossible for them to march three to five hundred miles in a day and night like light cavalry.

Moreover, such a march by the light cavalry is also a rapid march and cannot be done often.

Therefore, the Han army's marching speed was actually due to its good equipment and not being afraid of enemy sneak attacks.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that there are cavalry from the rear to support at any time.

Moreover, among the nearly 8000 soldiers, more than half are dedicated to fighting. When the situation is urgent, it is normal for the entire army to rush into the battle.

It can be said that even if such an army marches hundreds of miles a day, it will not be afraid of Yilan County's large soldiers.

Therefore, along the way, there was no force that could cause harm to the Han army and hinder its marching speed.

Most of the time, the many rural and militia groups among the people do not need to be attacked by the Advocate soldiers. The soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade can defeat them with a single charge.

Just like that, in just four days, the Fifth Infantry Brigade arrived at the gates of Yilan County.

At this time, all the officials in Yilan County were frightened by the marching speed of the Han army.

That is to say, they urgently recalled General Fu, otherwise the Han army could seize the city that day.

So looking at the closed city gates of Yilan County, Lu Yulin thought for a moment and ordered:

"The entire army is in repair and the official attack will begin tomorrow!"

All the soldiers agreed!

"promise!"

Such a sound and high morale really frightened the defenders on the city wall to the point where they could no longer hold their weapons.

Then that night, Lu Yulin summoned everyone to hold a meeting.

"The county seat is no better than the county seat. The city is high and the pond is deep, making it the most difficult to attack. Moreover, because of Bailian in the past few years, the current county seat of Yilan County has been significantly raised and reinforced many times."

"So, let's think about how we can win this city tomorrow."

There was a lot of discussion about this question, but the answers given were all aggressive.

In fact, if you want to capture this kind of city, generally speaking, it is nothing more than surrendering the officials inside, or forcing them to flee due to the general situation.

Of course, it is also possible to attack with force like an ant in some general trends.

It's just that when the ants attack a city, they usually use old, weak or strong men to attack the city. After the defenders' arrows, stones, rolling logs and other defensive tools are used up, real soldiers can attack the city.

However, these conditions were not met for the Han army.

For example, the first article requires officials to surrender the city. With the current policy of the Han army, it is impossible for these officials to surrender unless they have done nothing wrong.

The second article is oppression by the general trend. This usually only occurs when the organization is lost. Many cities cannot be contacted, and people are panicked. In the end, they can only abandon the city and flee.

The current Han army does not have this situation.

If you want the counties of Daqian to abandon the city and flee, then you need at least one state, hundreds of thousands of troops, to attack with thunderous force, and the main general of Daqian to escape, before this can happen.

As for the third type, there is no need to say more. Since the Han army focuses on benevolence and righteousness, it is impossible to use this method.

Because as long as the Han army uses it once, its morale will collapse into a traditional feudal army.

If this is the case, all Liu Wu's hard work will be in vain.

Therefore, the only thing left before everyone was to use the lives of the soldiers of the [-]th Infantry Brigade to launch a storm.

Likewise, siege battles were brutal, both for the attacker and the defender.

So Lu Yulin didn't want to fight such a battle, otherwise the loss would be too great.

More importantly, the [-]th Infantry Brigade ran very fast, but they did not have many siege equipment. The only ones they could barely use were ladders used to climb the city walls.

This kind of ladder is naturally ready-made, but it can be disassembled to carry only the key parts. Before the battle, you only need to cut down the wood to make a simple ladder, and then install it.

It's just that this type is too simple and cannot protect against arrows, stones, and rolling logs.

So Lu Yulin thought about it and ordered:

"Tomorrow all three infantry battalions will be deployed and attack from the east, west and south, leaving only the north unattended."

Obviously, encircling three and missing one gives hope to the enemy defending the city, so that they will not defend the city desperately.

Only in this way, under a strong attack, can the Han army reduce its own casualties to an even lower level.

After listening to the order, all the generals clasped their fists together.

"promise!"
